ABSTRACT:
An artificial reef which protects the shoreline from erosion is created by placing in the surf zone, in side-by-side relation, reinforced concrete prisms having a gently sloping seaward face provided with parallel, transverse grooves which assist in dissipating wave energy and the release of water-borne sediments while minimizing secondary waves.
